  Due to the changes at tumblr there is currently heavy traffic at the WordPress.com importer so please be patient as staff work through the backlog. They need to reset the importer themselves.

  Hi there,

  I’ve reset the Tumblr importer for your site so you can try again.

  If it seems to take long, please be patient and don’t try cancelling the process yourself – we’re experiencing a high volume of imports from Tumblr at the moment causing a backlog of pending imports in our system. The imports are being run in the order they are submitted.

  If the new import doesn’t complete within 24 hours, please let us know.

  Thanks for the help. I’ve been waiting for 36 hours now and still haven’t seen anything. There’s no progress or updates on any posts being imported. I know it says that it happens in the background, but no progress at all? How do I know if the import is working at all then? I also understand there’s a higher volume than usual with tumblr’s latest stunt. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

  Your import is still in the queue, so it will be run. I just can’t tell you exactly when – we are working through a pretty big backlog :)

  However, please note that we also have restrictions on the type of mature content allowed on WordPress.com, and pornographic or sexually explicit content is not allowed on our service at all.
